i got a 92 mazda b2600i with either a blown head gasket or cracked head... not sure...

i was thinkin of doin an engine swap... to what, i'm not sure...

maybe a 2.0 or 2.2? maybe a v6 or v8?

what do you guys think would be best for this... i wanna drive it A LOT... just can't do that at the current moment cuz of the damn head...

also if you have done any swap, can i get pics?

If you drive it alot and are looking for power, a 4.3L V-6 would be a good choice. Plenty of power for our little trucks. Some one on here was selling an adapter kit for our trucks.check the mazda forums.

yeah i seen that... i'm still debating on whether i run a v6 which i'd have to buy or the 351 that my uncle has...

i'm gonna turn this truck into a daily driver...

ONCE I GET IT RUNNING!!!!!!!!!

4.3 v-6 sounds like a great way to go imo

I believe its No Limit Customs in BC that has the engine mounts for either a SBC or a 4.3

A rotary is a easy swap! tranny bolts right in all you need to is make engine mounts modify oil pan or front crossmember. The stock drive shaft even works with no mods, slid the truck yoke into the RX7 tranny.
